My company, Mannatech, provides all of the items listed below:
- Warehouse & shipping
- Customer Service Department & Training Programs
- Research & Development
- Accounting, Accounts Payable & Receivable.
- On-line Computer technology for orders, information, and business support
- Affordable start-up costs.
- In business this is a really big deal. Some companies literally spend over $100,000 to hire one new employee not knowing whether this employee will be around next year.
- Firing someone is very stressful and creates nothing but negative energy.
- Takeovers, layoffs, downsizing, passed over … are a thing of the past.
- No one steals your effort and takes the credit for what you do.
- The down side is that you can’t blame someone else for holding you back.
- All companies have a pyramid model. Corporations are stuck with the pyramid of a CEO at the top, all theway down to the guy cutting the grass.
- There is a lot of competition while climbing the ladder, sometimes at the expense of friendships.
- Gossip and backbiting can be the main meals for those who want to advance.
- The ones at the bottom of the corporate pyramid can never make more than the ones above them.
- Network marketing really differs from the traditional corporate pyramid.
- Success is encouraged.
- There are no secret ideas to protect.
- Creativity and initiative receive immediate reward. Sharing ideas is “smart business” & helps everyone.
- Jealousy and tearing down another member is ridiculous – we want each other to succeed.
- You can make more money than the one who is ahead of you.
- Someone else’s success is your success … and your success is shared with others.
- Win/Win is how you keep score.
- People will believe in you and you will believe for the best in others.
- You go at your speed and define success by your own desires.
- You can prosper beyond your wildest dreams. There is no glass ceiling.
- Choose WHEN, WHERE and WHO you work with.
- Continue going to school or advancing in another career while building your company.
- Want a week off? Look in the mirror and give yourself permission.
- If you are an employee (have a job) the tax system gives you little to write off. Those making $50,000+/year are likely paying 25 - 35% in government in taxes.
- In Network Marketing your basic monthly product purchase is a tax write off … as is the full cost of your business start up pack. This lowers your annual taxable income and translates into an immediate 30% discount on these product costs. (Try writing off purchases from Wal-Mart!)
- Part of your housing, internet, computer, car, insurances, etc. all become potential write offs against your entire income.
- Do you have an office in your house or hold meetings in your living room? A portion of all housing costs (mortgage, heat, hydro, taxes, insurance, etc.) can be considered a business expense.
- Restaurant meals for business meetings, vehicle expenses to get there … write them off!
- Travel – include some legitimate business and it’s a sizeable write off.
- 70 years old? Why not! (It’s better than slinging fries.)
- 2 years old? No problem (with a parent’s consent). Children are no longer a financial liability, they can save for their own college fund and pay for their own designer clothes.
- Poor? … Not for long!
- Just out of prison? … A new beginning!
- Education? … No resume required. Start immediately and learn as you build your business.
- Disabilities? … We all have disabilities.
- You are a valuable member of the team and fully independent at the same time.
- New career opportunities everywhere you go … even in another country.
- If you need or want to move, your business goes with you.
- Operating your business from a sailboat or an island paradise is a real option.
- As long as you have the internet, you’re in business.
- Even when you’re not working, your pay cheque can continue to grow based on the investment that you made in the people that are in business with you.
- Making money while on vacation is just way too cool.
- If you get sick or in an accident your income continues.
- If a loved one needs you, you can be there without sacrificing income.
- You may never retire because you are having too much fun!
- It is nice to know that you can gain financial freedom based not just on your own effort but by joining hands with those you have invested your time in.
- Your business can be passed on to your children as an inheritance.
- It is just plain fun to be around people that are cheering you on.
- It’s even more fun helping others succeed.
- Not only will you get lots of encouragement for your business but you will make some lifetime friends.
